Spiritual Direction
A companion for your journey, listening for the sacred
Spiritual Direction
I offer spiritual support in the form of spiritual direction. Spiritual direction is also sometimes called spiritual companioning or accompaniment. At its core, it's a one-on-one trusting and confidential supportive relationship where I walk alongside you on your spiritual journey. We meet for an hour at a time at the frequency you choose. I offer deep nonjudgmental listening, thoughtful reflections and questions that help you go deeper, and, when appropriate, resources and practices that may support you.
While you may talk about your emotions and mental health, spiritual direction is not therapy. It can, however, serve as a complement to therapy (I’ve got both myself!). Meeting with me is also different from meeting with a clergy person. While I’ve had my own spiritual religious experiences, I will not push you toward any particular religious belief. I commit to journeying alongside you on that path that is all your own.
Along your journey I may support you as you:
Connect with yourself and explore your inner world with compassion
Process your spiritual experiences
Connect to community and your role in it
Discern and make a life choice from a grounded place
Find and trust your intuition
Try new spiritual practices
Dig into existential concerns and questions
Connect to something bigger, whether it’s your purpose, place in the world, or a Higher Power - whatever you may call it
Find new understandings and paths of growth
Specialized Support
I am available to support people from all faiths and religions, or none. And, I have personal experience with the following spiritualities: Jewish, Christian, Secular, Feminist & Liberation, Earth-rooted/pagan, Eclectic Witchcraft, and Kink/Erotic Spirituality.
I also specialize in supporting the following life experiences:
-
For queer and/or progressive folks raised Christian who are navigating the "now what?"
Whether you are currently in the thick of dismantling old beliefs or you’ve finished the unraveling and are ready to rebuild, I am here for the whole process. I specialize in both the messy middle of deconstruction and the creative phase of "reconstruction." Whether you’re finding the language for your doubt, exploring new practices, or seeking a spiritual life that finally honors your full identity, I am invested in you feeling supported—with no "right" answers required.
-
For activists, organizers, leaders, and/or the compassionately concerned in need of a deeper well.
Liberatory movement work is soul work, but it shouldn't leave you empty. I help justice seekers bridge the gap between building the world as it could be and supporting your wellness in the world as it is. I may support you to recover or prevent burnout, reconnect with hope, and uncover resilient spiritual practice(s) that can fuel your activism.
-
For those braving the liminal space of a life transition.
Whether you are moving through a career change, a shift in relationships, or a season of profound personal evolution, these moments of transition can feel unmooring. I offer a space to steady yourself as you move from what was to what is becoming. Together, we listen for your inner knowing and might create rituals to honor the change, to help you move through transition not just as something to survive, but as a threshold toward a more authentic version of yourself.
